HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ********************************** EMERGENCY OVERVIEW ********************************** Dry, black powder with little to no odor. Will not burn or react, but may auto-oxidize if exposed to heat in excess of 176 F (80 C) causing additional heat which may be sufficient to cause packaging to smoulder or ignite. Long-term inhalation can cause lung irritation or siderosis. Packaging material can burn or melt in fire, producing toxic smoke and fumes. ************************************************************************************************************************************* HMIS Codes: H=0, F=0, R=1, P=0 (0=Minimal, 1=Slight, 2=Moderate, 3=Serious, 4=Severe) Potential Health Effects: Eye Contact: Non-irritating to the eyes. Excessive exposure to airborne dust may reduce visibility and/or cause unpleasant deposits. Skin Contact: Will not irritate skin and is not likely to cause allergic skin reaction. Irritation to skin or mucous membranes can occur by direct mechanical action or by rigorous skin cleaning necessary for removal of dust. Ingestion: Small amounts (a tablespoonful) swallowed are not likely to cause injury. Ingestion of very large quantities may result in stomachache, vomiting, intestinal obstruction, and/or constipation. Inhalation: As with all dusty materials, inhalation may cause respiratory irritation, sneezing, coughing, and runny nose. Wear respirator and avoid breathing dust. Human Effects and symptoms of overexposure: Acute: To date, adverse health effects from exposure have not been reported among workers using this pigment. On the basis of Animal Toxicity Data (see Section 11), we would expect this product to be non-irritating to the eyes and skin and essentially non-toxic by ingestion.

2 MSDS CODE: BK1 Page 2 of 5 Chronic: Other Effects: However, excessive exposure to airborne dust may reduce visibility and/or cause unpleasant deposits in the eyes, ears and nose. Irritation to skin or mucous membranes can occur by direct mechanical action or by rigorous skin cleaning necessary for removal of dust. Prolonged inhalation of amorphous silica may produce x-ray changes in the lungs without disability. No chronic effects are known from repeated exposure to iron oxide PIGMENT. Prolonged inhalation (6 to 10 years) of iron oxide FUME has been reported to produce changes in lung x-rays of exposed individuals. This condition, siderosis, is considered to be benign pneumoconiosis that exhibits no adverse health effects. Siderosis has been observed among occupations such as arc-welders where iron oxide FUMES are present. To the best of our knowledge, this condition has not been observed after prolonged exposure to iron oxide pigment. There is no Iron Oxide FUME contained in this product and none should be generated under normal use. Medical Conditions known Aggravated by Exposure: Carcinogenicity: IARC: Not Listed NTP: Not Listed OSHA: Not regulated Other: IARC and NTP both contain listings for underground hematite mining. These listings are for the occupational exposures associated with the mining process which include radon, a known lung carcinogen. NIOSH in the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) lists Iron Oxide as a suspect human carcinogen. However, the IARC reference to underground hematite mining is the source for this classification. Based on information currently available, this product is not considered a carcinogen. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water, lifting eyelids periodically. Remove contact lenses. Continue flushing for 15 minutes or until eyes return to normal. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before re-use. Ingestion: Swallowing less than an ounce (less than 30 grams) will not cause harm. For larger amounts, do not induce vomiting, but give one or two glasses of water (8 to 10 oz/240 to 300 ml) to drink and Contact medical personnel or poison control center immediately. Do not give anything by mouth if person is rapidly losing consciousness or is unconscious or convulsing. Inhalation: Move from dusty area to fresh air and get medical attention for any breathing difficulty. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties: Flash Point: Upper Explosive Limit (UEL): Lower Explosive Limit (LEL): Auto-ignition Temperature: Extinguishing Media: Fire fighting Instructions: Not Flammable. Will not flash. Will not explode Will not explode Exposure to excessive heat greater than 176 F (80 C) can cause the portion of Iron Oxide Black contained in this product to slowly auto-oxidize, which generates additional heat. Under certain conditions, this heat may be sufficient to cause the bag or combustible materials stored nearby to ignite. This product is not combustible or flammable. Use extinguishing agents that are suitable to the surrounding fire;water spray, dry chemical, foam or CO 2 Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against potentially toxic and irritating fumes and smoke inhalation. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Small Spill: If dust is generated, use appropriate respiratory protection. Vacuum or scoop material into an appropriately marked container for re-use or disposal. Avoid excessive generation of dust. Large Spill: Use recommended protective clothing and respiratory protection. Use shovel to reclaim material.

3 MSDS CODE: BK1 Page 3 of 5 Vacuum or scoop material into an appropriately marked container for re-use or disposal. Avoid excessive generation of dust. It is more effective to clean this product while dry by vacuuming or sweeping. However, spill area can be washed with water. Collect wash water for approved disposal. Prevent runoff from entering storm sewers and ditches which lead to natural waterways. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Storage: Store dry at ambient temperature away from food and beverages, excessive heat or flame sources (furnace, kilns, boilers etc.). Keep separate from substances subject to catalytic decomposition by dust, e.g peroxides. Handling: Avoid breathing dust. Avoid getting in eyes or on skin. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with moisture. Re-seal bag immediately after use. Pallets are wrapped in polyethylene plastic. Removal may cause an electrostatic spark; therefore removal of the wrap should not be in the presence of flammable vapors. Storage Temperature (Min/Max)... : Shelf Life... : Special Sensitivity... : Other Precautions... : Ambient/50ºC (122ºF) Unlimited in closed container 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering Controls: Maintain air levels below the recommended exposure limit using process enclosure and exhaust ventilation if necessary. Supply sufficient replacement air to make up for air removed by exhaust systems. If engineering controls and work practices are not effective in controlling exposures, appropriate personal protective equipment including a NIOSH/OSHA approved dust respirator should be worn. Eyes: Wear Safety Glasses with side shields or goggles. Eye wash stations should be available in workplace. Skin: Wear body-covering clothing closed at wrists and ankles. Rubber, PVC, or Leather gloves are suggested to facilitate personal hygiene. Respiratory Protection: Workplace ambient dust concentrations should be monitored and if the recommended exposure limit is exceeded, a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with dust prefilter should be worn. Other: Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be available. Educate and train employees in the safe use and handling of hazardous chemicals. Work/Hygiene Practices: Employees should wash their hands and face before eating, drinking or using tobacco products. 9.
